Alice sues Bob in federal court for breach of contract and requests a jury trial. Bob does not object to the jury trial request. Which of the following best describes the outcome?
The request for a jury trial will be denied because Bob did not consent.
A jury will be empaneled to hear the case.
The court will proceed to a bench trial without a jury.
The court will decide whether a jury trial is appropriate based on the claims.
Since the plaintiff requested a jury trial and the defendant did not object, the court is required to empanel a jury to hear the case. This upholds the plaintiff's right to a jury trial when properly requested and not contested by the opposing party.
